    as far as insults go, @spunkloaf you are the one delivering the insults, like the rest of your buddies in here and you rarely ever post to the OP.
    You get what you give in here..........we don't handle snowflakes with kit gloves...........life is tough, get over it, both of you
    Quite amusing from someone who needs directions on leaving either end of the street on which he lives.

    The same people who complain about the quality of public education are rebutting others with mere character attacks. It seems like it gets way worse when the moderators are not around. There's also a wolf pack of individuals who seem to gang up and single others out, throwing nothing but insults...as if to try and get them to want to leave. I experienced that last night, and I've been seeing it happen with others as well. I mean, it's brutal. I'm starting to wonder if it's a coordinated effort. I don't see many good ideas being exchanged, and the ones who are making the honest effort (on ALL political sides) are getting drowned out by the dumb $#@!s (on ALL political sides).

    I understand how frustrating it is to debate with people who you consider to be your country's enemy. People who you wish would just not be here. People who you wish would just shut the $#@! up. I'm not a saint by any means, but I can't believe how nasty people get when they respond sometimes, completely unprovoked and uncalled for. Isn't there any possibility of these people modifying their own behavior so that this is not such a $#@! hole? Is there any self control? I'm trying to do that myself, but I can't do it alone...

    Also, how about some personal debating standards? Like learning how to properly argue a claim, instead of attacking somebody, or deflecting, or calling them a liar without backing yourself up? Can we fit that into our life goals here, please? Because, honestly...how old are we?

    This is the internet, and these things you write will be around forever. Try to think of the archaeologists in the future who stumble across this database of absurdity, and the story that you are telling them about yourself.

    They be like "Who the crap is spunkloaf? And why didn't these people listen to him about climate change?"

    That's all I got. I'm exhausted from homework. I'm fed up with the way people treat each other, including myself. It's my 33rd birthday tomorrow. Well, technically, right now it's 1:05am.... I can't believe it. I've known some of you since I was 22 years old, 11 years ago. Anyways. I need to take a small break from this forum for a day or so. And when I come back, you kids better be well behaved.
    What the......?

    The left can't handle someone not putting up with their bull$#@!. They think their opinions are facts. I had one try to tell me what kind of cable we have where I live. That's liberalism at it's finest

    They toss insults around and want the rest to "be nice."

    They insult every Trump voter with vile remarks and then cry when the favor is returned.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    It is to some. I could name names of people on both the left and right where that applies.

    Usually, the left wing posts are attacks, so the right wing will retaliate. Dog pile? It used to be that the right wing was merely target practice for the left. It has shifted, so you're seeing what happens when you are wrong.

    Someone once asked if this forum was dying, and if so - why?

    Posts like the above is a good part of the reason why. I am not political and I am not an American, so I am not a part of the political right or left, but I just turn off when I read people going on about 'the right' or 'the left', as though millions of people think exactly alike. That is neither informative nor constructive, and not the reason I come here.
    Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,

    Yea, but, it's true. The left assumes what they think even imagine is necessarly, self-evidently true. That's why they rarely argue their opinions. All they demand is fair, equal time for their opinions, and then why, next, they, assuming they are right and the right is wrong, there must be something wrong with the right, so they engage in arogan, self-righteous, virtue-signalling sneering sarcasm. And when the right exposes how wrong they are they cry they're being picked on by meanies.

    It's all quite the show.
